Abstract
A bulk metal chip resistor includes an elongated resistor element having terminals at its opposite ends. The terminals are formed by coating the opposite ends of the resistor element with a conductive material. Insulative material may be molded around the center portion of the resistor to provide structural support, and the ends of the resistor can be bent downwardly so as to cause the central portion to be raised when the resistor is mounted on a circuit board. A modified form of the invention includes wrapping the resistance element around the ends of a rectangular substrate so that the substrate provides structural support. Another modified form includes placing four terminals at the four corners of the resistor element.
